Owning one of London’s most exciting voices, South London-based singer Jodie Abacus releases new track ‘Hot Kitchen’, available now.

Marrying the best of R&B and funk’s ‘golden age’ with a sickly-sweet psychedelic sheen, South-London based singer Jodie Abacus exploded onto the critical consciousness earlier this year with his debut single ‘Good Feeling’. Six months later and the purveyor of “future soul” has cemented his status of one of the UK’s most soulful voices; winning widespread support online as well as having radio heavyweights BBC Radio 1xtra sing his praises.

With a sound that echoes the output of neo-funk Brainfeeder stalwarts Thundercat and Flying Lotus whilst simultaneously conjuring up Stevie Wonder and (whisper it) early Jamiroquai, Jodie returns with his latest single, ‘Hot Kitchen’. Premiering with both BBC Radio 1xtra’s MistaJam & The Fader, ‘Hot Kitchen is a blues-tinged, smoked-out funk odyssey that hints at the rising star’s signature sound.
